That was the case Saturday, when the fast-growing restaurant brand joined forces with the Manning Passing Academy for a special day at Nicholls State University in Louisiana.

Continuing their support of one of the best-known football camps, Cane’s and founder Todd Graves joined the Manning family as they hosted the annual Quarterback Long Shot Challenge. Arizona’s Noah Fifita won, earning himself a year of free Raising Cane’s and an exclusive collection of swag.

Star college QBs Arch Manning, Jayden Maiava, George MacIntyre, Demond Williams Jr, and Julian Sayin were all in attendance at the event, showcasing their passing skills and spending time with Graves.

Along with joining in on the celebratory festivities, Graves presented the Manning Passing Academy Foundation with a check for $25,000.

The event was one of special importance to Graves, as Archie Manning has served as a longtime source of inspiration for the entrepreneur.

“Over the years their shared commitment to leadership, service and giving back has grown into a close friendship with the entire Manning family,” says a Raising Cane’s press release. “Together, they’ve spent years investing in young people through football, philanthropy and community initiatives.”
